Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, O.P. has desired Mullon to address Timon in reference to the subject set forth in the latter's letter July 18. Fenwick acknowledges the favor conferred by vindicating his character from the foul aspersion sought to be affixed to it by slander. The whole is a fabrication. When the spurious production first made its appearance, a Catholic layman furnished him with a copy to which he made no reply. Fenwick is too well known to be branded with treason against the government by the Reverend Mr. Ellis, minister of the Presbyterian congregation and editor of The Western Observer. All the correspondence he has ever had with the Society in France for the Propagation of the Faith is now, in pamphlet form, in his library and a sight of it might raise the blush, if that were possible, on the cheek of the Reverend traducer. It is not very likely that the Bishop of Cincinnati should dream of severing the ties of a union cemented in part by the gallant efforts of his father who served in the Revolution with the rank of Colonel, whose eldest brother and two cousins were all in the army of the United States and one of them is yet in service. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
